As the sun sets, only a faint crimson glow remains on the horizon.
The once empty city gate was now filled with seven or eight scattered groups of people.
These young people were all extraordinary, and their Cultivation level was at least at the Xiantian. They were the various geniuses, Holy Son, and Princes who had come from all over Yuhua Prefecture upon hearing the news.
However, at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two corpses swaying gently in the wind on the city gate tower, and the glaring white cloth with black characters next to them.
Li Feitian, the Young Master of the Crimson Blood Sect, Li Shan, the Dharma Protector!
Everyone present knew the identities of these two individuals.
This is precisely why their shock and doubts are all the more intense.
"Hmph, it's just a bluff."
"Maybe they used some kind of conspiracy to harm those fools from the Crimson Blood Sect, and then posted it out to scare people."
A young man dressed in crimson outfit and carrying two swords sneered.
He came from a sect that had a grudge against the Crimson Blood Sect, and his tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
"Bluff?"
A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of femininity, rang out.
The speaker was a handsome young man dressed in a moon-white long robe and holding a folding fan.
It was none other than Qiao Muyun, the Young Pavilion Master of "Linglong Pavilion," the strongest intelligence organization in Yuhua Prefecture, who ranked third on the Yuhua Prefecture's Yuhua Prefecture Prodigy Ranking.
He is twenty-eight years old this year and has reached the Grandmaster Realm, making him the most skilled Cultivation in this area.
Qiao Muyun gently waved her folding fan and slowly said:
"According to some scattered intelligence obtained by my Linglong Pavilion, the capital of Wei is not peaceful these days."
It seems a powerful figure made a move a few days ago, causing quite a stir.
And all the changes seem to revolve around a man named Zhang Yu.
"Zhang Yu?"
"The one who forced Miss Hu to become Maidservant?"
Some people have doubts.
"It was him."
Qiao Muyun nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes:
Interestingly, in just the last few days, the strength of this former Discarded Son of a Marquis Estate of Yong'an seems to have undergone a dramatic change.
There are even rumors that he might be a powerful being who has either been asleep or reincarnated.
"Great Being Reincarnation?"
A burly, strong man let out a deep, gruff laugh:
"Qiao Muyun, while your Linglong Pavilion's intelligence is accurate, do you really believe such nonsense?"
I think it's just Zhang Yu creating a smokescreen, trying to monopolize the Azure Wood Sacred Body."
He is True Disciple of the Dragon Tiger Gate, specializing in Physical Body cultivation. He has a rough and bold personality and possesses Innate Peak Cultivation.
However, their Dragon Tiger Gate's Cultivation Method are unique, and their Physical Body are extremely strong.
Although he only has the Cultivation of the Innate Peak, with his unparalleled Physical Body, he can fight against Grandmaster.
Therefore, he was not afraid of Qiao Muyun, who Cultivation Grandmaster.
Qiao Muyun was not angry; she simply smiled meaningfully.
Truth and falsehood are intertwined; who can truly tell the difference?
Perhaps he is the Great Being Reincarnation, perhaps he has obtained Heaven-Defying Opportunity, or perhaps... it's just a bluff. But,
He abruptly changed the subject, snapping his folding fan shut and pointing it at the two corpses on the city wall:
"The corpses of the Crimson Blood Sect's Young Master and the Great Grandmaster Protector are indeed hanging there."
Li Feitian was one thing, but Li Shan was a true Great Grandmaster.
He looked around at everyone and continued slowly:
"Everyone, we all want to obtain the Azure Wood Sacred Body, but the prerequisite is that we must be alive to enjoy it."
The capital of Wei is now a quagmire whose depths are unknown; whoever goes in first may become a stepping stone.
"What are your thoughts, Brother Qiao?" someone asked.
Qiao Muyun gave a sinister smile and whispered:
"I just received news that Zhang Yu seems to have completely fallen out with the Marquis Yong'an's Estate's family."
At this moment, his father, Marquis Yong'a Zhang Jiuling, was leading some experts from East Green Mountain, rushing angrily towards the Imperial City.
Judging by the time, it's almost time.
He paused, a calculating glint in his eyes:
"Moreover, the Wei royal family seems to be intentionally blocking out specific information from inside the capital. Zhang Jiuling probably doesn't know the specific situation inside the capital."
Why don't we... hold back for now, watch them fight it out, and let the people from the Marquis Yong'an's Estate and East Green Mountain go and probe the true strength of this Imperial City first?"
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
That's definitely a good idea!
Brother Qiao's insight is brilliant!
"This plan is brilliant!"
"Let's follow Brother Qiao's advice and wait and see!"
The crowd echoed, clearly intimidated by the two corpses at the city gate and unwilling to be the first to stand out.
However, just as everyone reached a tacit agreement and prepared to retreat and observe the situation,
"A bunch of useless trash. Two mere corpses have scared you half to death?"
If you don't have the guts, you might as well go home and drink your milk. You're not worthy to compete for the Azure Wood Sacred Body!"
A cold, domineering, and disdainful voice boomed like thunder above everyone's heads!
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably powerful aura descended from the sky like a mountain, making everyone gasp for breath!
A figure in white robes, like a celestial being descending to earth, slowly drifted down from the distant sky.
Upon seeing this person, everyone, including Qiao Muyun, had a slight change in expression, and their eyes revealed a deep sense of apprehension.
Number one on the Yuhua Prefecture Prodigy Ranking!
Qiu Ruobai, the Young Master of the Wujian Gate!
At the age of thirty, he had already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, making him the undisputed number one among the younger generation in Yuhua Prefecture.
His Combat Power is said to be enough to challenge veteran Great Grandmaster are of higher ranks.
Qiu Ruobai's cold gaze swept over the two corpses on the city wall, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.
"The trash from the Crimson Blood Sect, they're dead, so what? Who are they trying to scare by displaying them like this?"
His gaze finally settled on the tightly closed city gate, his tone domineering and direct:
"This Young Master has no time to play your games of sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight."
I want Azure Wood Sacred Body.
This Wei capital city, I, the young master, will storm in today and see if it's a den of dragons and tigers, or just a charade!
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored the gazes of everyone present and prepared to rush into the Imperial City.
"Wait."
An old voice suddenly rang in his ears.
The sound didn't come from the outside world, but entered his mind directly; it emanated from an unadorned black ring on his finger.
Qiu Ruobai suddenly paused, but secretly communicated with the entity in the ring through his mind. "Old Jiang, is there a problem?"
Don't underestimate it.
The aged voice rang out again, tinged with a barely perceptible gravity, "Those two corpses, especially the Great Grandmaster's, are suspicious."
What's the problem?
Qiu Ruobai's sharp gaze swept over Li Shan's corpse on the city wall.
Old Jiang's voice continued:
"On the corpse of that Great Grandmaster, there remained an extremely faint, yet terrifyingly pure, fluctuation of Soul Power."
He was instantly annihilated by the Soul Power, his soul scattered and he died.
"Soul Power?"
Upon hearing Qiu Ruobai's heart sank.
He had heard of the Soul Power from Old Jiang; it was a terrifying power that only true Land Immortal could wield.
Li Shan, a Great Grandmaster, was instantly killed by Soul Power?
What does that mean?
This means that within the imperial city of Wei, there is a very likely hidden terrifying being capable of attacking using the power of divine soul.
